IPexpert’s International Reach Grows With Netmetric Solutions Partnership

    CHINA, Mich., Aug. 21 /EMWNews/ -- Less than 20,000 individuals

worldwide currently hold the CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert)

certification, which places them among the elite computer networking

experts anywhere. This distinction also demands a six-figure annual salary

in America, according to recent national surveys.



    To become CCIE-certified, an engineer must pass a grueling 8-hour-long

hands-on "lab" exam conducted by Cisco (http://www.cisco.com), the global

leader in computer network solutions. IPexpert (http://www.ipexpert.com) is

a primary training organization, focused solely on preparing seasoned

computer network engineers for the coveted CCIE certification exams,

through various learning solutions.



    A typical preparation plan for a successful candidate includes working

through self-study training products, which can take three to six months to

complete. Then, prior to attempting the CCIE exam, many candidates choose

to attend intense live classroom training, lasting one or two weeks, up to

14 hours per day. Although IPexpert's industry-leading products are used by

CCIE candidates around the world, its popular live courses are generally

offered only in the United States and limited key locations abroad. With

growing demand for these courses in various emerging markets, such as India

and Saudi Arabia, IPexpert has aligned with Netmetric Solutions to expand

its reach.



    Netmetric Solutions (http://www.netmetric-solutions.com) is a training

organization headquartered in Hyderabad, India. The company is established

as a leading provider of CCIE training in its geographic region, creating

an ideal opportunity for resource sharing and cooperative marketing efforts

with IPexpert. The partnership allows both entities to leverage the other's

physical presence and brand recognition in their regions.



    President of Netmetric Solutions Khawar Butt is a veteran in the IT

(Information Technology) industry, with over 30 years of experience and

many career certifications to his credit, including four of the available

five CCIE certification specialties. "We are very excited to be working

with IPexpert in this partnership that will help bring CCIE-level training

to students throughout the world. Having worked with IPexpert in the past

and understanding how the company works will be a big plus in this

partnership." He adds, "We previously partnered in 2004 to bring to market

one of the first offerings in the world for the CCIE Security

specialization. I look forward to bringing similar types of groundbreaking

products to the market in the future."
